Barcelona are reportedly convinced Newcastle United-linked winger Ousmane Dembele as an agreement with another club.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan giants are pessimistic about keeping the France international.
They maintain it is he that must make the move if he wants to stay at the Nou Camp. There is supposedly an offer on the table.
But Barca do feel that Dembele has an agreement to join another club.
Their contract offer to the 24-year-old is the same as it has bene for months. There will be no new offers put to him and his team. It is up to Dembele if he wants to sign it to continue his stay at the club.
Newcastle have been linked with a move for Dembele a couple of times since the club was taken over last October.
And Marca reported in January that Newcastle were one of three Premier League teams monitoring the player.
It’s very possible the Magpies could make a move for the former Borussia Dortmund livewire in the next transfer window.
The star has really picked up his form in the last few weeks, and he has managed seven assists in his last five La Liga matches.
Newcastle should closely monitor Ousmane Dembele from here on in, as exit seems likely
It seems that Barcelona now expect Dembele to leave the club this summer.
They don’t intend to offer him an improved deal. And it looks like Dembele wouldn’t be happy to sign the offer that’s been on the table.
Newcastle therefore ought to really keep a close eye on the player between now and the end of the season.
Just recently, the electric star has really started to thrive for Barca.
He is reminding people what an incredible talent he is. And it’s slightly surprising to see his renaissance given how it got a bit messy a few months ago.
If he can sustain his current form through to the end of the campaign, and crucially, stay fit, Newcastle surely have to look at a potential free swoop.
